Christ you don't hang about! Looks good,

Cant believe any one could drink that much Redbull.

Excellent work so far Ste,this is going to be one to keep an eye on

[Johnny A]

Looks good, very interesting project however I am a little disappointed in you using a cally/cav rear beam setup. With all that nice framework you are welding in I was expecting to see some fancy custom A-frames!!

Either way keep up the good work

[jimbob-mcgrew]

progress looks good !
i beg you RWD it, rather than 4x4

[djbrowney]

cracking work ste, will have to pop over for a look one night

[Graeme]

[Rickardo]

I remember this queuing behind me on the strip at pod.

I was thinking, Please don't race me.

Looking good pal.

i looked into my options and to be honest this seemed to be the easiest and most cost efective way of doing it. pluss you have to remember the ratios ect of the fron and rear diff have to be as manufactures intended ect other wise you will run into major problems

if i had gone down the route of double wishbones ect i then need custom hub carriers custom hubs cv joints to suit and so on not to mention caster camber toe bump steer ect to tackle

as is like this the majority are pre set (well for time beeing more on that when i get to it) it was hard enough to decide on and find a square point to start and work from as it was let alone bouncing all the others into the equation

this car has 3 main reasons for beeing built

1. i want a nova that has the possibilitys to run a a low 10 at pod
2. something different to the norm that i can have some fun with on track days ect
3. Its a learning curve for myself and a big up yours to all those tweed wearing internet only race drivers out there that give it the it cant be done you cant do this you cant do that.

if i was building something to compete in and had a bottomless pit of money i would have gone about it in a totaly different way and would have built something similar to the space framed one on here belive its steves
but im not and did i also mention im doing this car the whole thing on a budget of £2500! (suddenly out come all the sceptics )

thanks for input guys will keep you posted and i hope that anwsers a few questions cheers steve
